Becoming Well Red

IT'S SEASON, and there just isn't enough time in the day, week or month for me to become "well red"...I am working toward a goal of someday selling less and painting more...but in the meantime, there is an abundance of artsy things going on around Naples that satisfies my soul's yearning--and here are just a few...in case you are looking for something artsy to do, too!

Naples International Art & Antique Fair is coming to the Naples International Pavilion located at Immokalee Road & Livingston Road starting February 25th through March 1st. I already have my tickets!

How about the "A Season Of Color" exhibit at The Sweet Art Gallery featuring the work of Joan Dunkle, Mary Ann Flynn Fouse, and Nancy Siebert this Friday night, February 25th from 6-9PM at 2054 Trade Center Way.

Naples National Art Festival, rated one of the top in the country, runs from 10 AM to 5 PM at Cambier Park in Olde Naples, on February 26th and 27th! You will definitely see the red pick up truck parked along 8th Street south on Sunday!

Thank you for letting me ramble today--hopefully I'll see you at one of these amazing venues this weekend...look for the red pick up truck!

Make it a great day,

The Red Pick Up Artist

I AM an artist!

I've wanted to call myself an artist for a long time...saying it outloud is a little terrifying. I hope this blog helps me to 'come out of the closet'--Art has always been my first passion. I want to express myself with that same passion and exuberance that the color red symbolizes. Here's to me shouting from the mountaintops (or in the case of Naples: from the top of the highest penthouse!) "I AM an artist"! I love to paint and create. I love art...all forms of art. I love artsits...all types of artists...and I love the color red!
